Increase File System Space

currently I am out of file system space in my u03 file system. IThere
are no files that I can delete in this case. So is there any way to
increase my file system space.
I am using solaris 8. So I don't have LVM. Quick answer will appreciate
very much.

Regards
dhanuja

Either add more disk or you can ufsdump the filesystem or the entire disk and perform a ufsrestore=2E If you find that there are other filesystems on the disk that is overallocated, you can decrease the size before performing the ufsrestore=2E By doing this, you will defragment things, and reclaim additional space=2E

Solaris 8 does have LVM, it's just called Solstice Disk Suite (SDS).
If you have more space on the same drive, immediately adjacent to your
/u03 partition, you can add the space to your /u03 partition and use
growfs.

If you don't have the extra space, you can add a drive (or find the
space elsewhere), and use SDS to form a concarentation device. Then
run growfs. Note, use of concat devices accross multiple drives,
increases your chances of dataloss (you lose if either drive dies).
